Consider Support of Candidates g

By ROSEMARY REDDING A campaign to have additional women elected to the Indiana Legise lature was )to be discussed this afternoon at the Seventh District, Indiana Federation of Clubs, cone vention in the Claypool Hotel. Mrs. Frederick G. Balz was to troduce a resolution asking that tach club district throughout the -

State name a woman to run for the General Assembly and that each district give its candidate the members’ support. An alternative in the resolution suggests one wo be chosen from each major political

yY. ‘The resolution is in line with the plea of Mrs. Oscar A. Ahigren, In« diana Federation of Club’s presi~ dent, that additional women be named to public offices. She urged, in a talk at today’s luncheon, that the clubwomen stage a “crusade” to have women appointed to schodl, health, park and library boards and zoning committees and elected to city councils, county offices and the Legislature, ° 2 “Do not confuse this with a feminist movement,” she said, “for it is not. We must not seek just because we are women—we must seek because we are American citizens interested in good ‘govern ment. . , . We have hundreds of qualified women in the state but too often pettiness prevents women from voting for their own sex.” A plea for better housing condfe tions in Indianapolis and Mari County was made by th Sistrids g housing study, plans for, slum clear Snce 208 housing hr wea pledge n a resolution passed y the clubwomen. Mrs. Rudolph Grosskopf,-the dise trict’s president, said the resolution was in line with the recent civie interest in the shortage of dwellings for low-income families and the shortage of dwellings to house an influx of defense workers. The resolution asks that no worke er be forced to live in sub-standarl conditions while carrying on dutigs vital to defense. It also points out the relationship between good housing, public health and the problenis of public welfare, such as crime, accidents and disease. h Other resolutions passed include one pledging the district cluli~ women to use their influence to further the adoption of a uni form set of traffic: regulations fép all localities of the State with ine structions further provided in regularly held traffic courts. Another ~ recommends that Gov. Henry F, Schricker urge a portion of Fourth of July celebrations throughout the State be devoted to youth demons strations for new voters and nat uralized citizens. x Other resolutions urge -Congrege sional study of problems facing raw dio’ broadcasting, additional tech& nical advice by Federal and State Governments for owners of private timberlands and co-operation with the movement for a revival of ime terest in religious faith. ;
